Nishant announced that patients no longer need to travel to metropolitan areas for cancer treatment.
Nishant told The Times of India that patients can now receive cancer treatment without having to travel to metropolitan centres. The comment highlights the growing presence of oncology services in smaller cities and towns across the country. By expanding facilities beyond the metros, the health system aims to reduce travel time, expenses and the emotional strain on patients and families. The statement comes as part of broader efforts to decentralise specialised medical care and bring advanced treatment closer to where people live.
